not sure where the southern/yankee thing comes in?
Rather than relying on Wikipedia so you can turn around and belittle the poster for that, as above, I turned to Websters Dictionary, which defines brackets as:
"either of the pair of signs [ ], or sometimes < > used to enclose a word or words inserted as for explanation, quantities to be taken as a single quantity, etc."
parentheses are not mentioned.
